Sen. McConnell, I note that the Kentucky counties of Lee, Leslie, Breathitt, Clay, Powell, Estill and Perry showed the largest decline in life expectancy in the nation between 1980 and 2014. The expansion of Medicaid to those citizens, and all eligible Kentuckians is certainly likely to have a positive impact on life expectancy and quality of life.

Are you concerned enough about these individuals to insure that they don’t lose their coverage?
